It does not take a racist to see that professional basketball has strayed a bit from its fundamental roots. Lebron James' crab dribble, Shaq' pathetic attempts at free throw shooting, and a field goal shooting percentage averaging in the low 40's league wide would tell you that.

What does take a racist to do is start an all white basketball league in order to rectify that situation.

Georgia (shocker) boxing and wrestling promoter Don "Moose" Lewis has announced that he is starting an all white basketball league, set to kick off in twelve cities in the southeast starting in June. The All American Basketball League (or AABA) is promising a game closer to basketball's fundamental roots as well as a safer, "family friendly" environment. It is also promising to only allow white players.

In a statement released on January 19, "Moose" Lewis declared a new day for white basketball players from sea to shining sea.

“Only players that are natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league,” stated Lewis in a statement. “There’s nothing hatred about what we’re doing. I don’t hate anyone of color. But people of white, American-born citizens are in the minority now. Here’s a league for white players to play fundamental basketball, which they like.”

Of course we do. Americans love to watch white people play sports fundamentally sound. That’s why hockey is so fucking popular...

"Fans have spoken to the AABA asking to restore on court sanity to the game of basketball," Lewis claims. "Their pleas are our mission. Only players that are natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league. It has come to the attention of the principals of the (All-American Basketball Alliance) that white basketball players are essentially 'shut out' of conventional professional basketball due to the proliferation of non-organized play on the court. With players on other professional teams carrying guns, attacking fans in the stands, and going through the motions of playing the game, fundamentally sound white players are a vanishing species."

See??? Moose Lewis isn't a racist...

He is a humanitarian out to save the rarest endangered species in the known world... a white, American point guard...

In his interview with The Augusta Chronicle, Moose goes on to tout the play of current NBA stars Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash (neither of whom, I might add, are eligible to play in Lewis's league due to being of foreign decent) as an example of the high caliber of play that his alabaster league is capable of eventually producing.

But it is not all skin color with Moose...

"It's because of the fact that natural athleticism of people of color is different," Lewis said. "They can make up for their shortfall in fundamentals with their natural athleticism. And coaches look for the quickest way to win, so they go for natural athleticism instead of the fundamentals from a white player. Is it a coaching problem? To a certain degree, but a lot of it is the culture.

"I know there are bad apples of every color, but like my wife says, let the numbers speak for themselves. Turn on the local TV news and who do you see on there? Facts are facts. Now, imagine the safety and quality of play at games where there's none of that. Anyone can be a star. Look at Larry Bird," Lewis continued. "He was a very good player. But if he was a black player, he wouldn't be considered in the same league as Michael Jordan. But he was white and entertaining. That's why people liked him."

Somewhere Jimmy the Greek is laughing his ass off...

Naturally, when someone says something this stupid, it garners attention.

As of yet, no cites have jumped on his honkey version of the NBA. Even the mayor of the city Lewis calls home, Augusta, didn't seem to be too thrilled about the idea, nor flattered that his fair city might be the home for one of these franchises...

“As a sports enthusiast, I have always supported bringing more sporting activities to Augusta,” he said. “However, in this instance I could not support in good conscience bringing in a team that did not fit with the spirit of inclusiveness that I, along with many others, have worked so hard to foster in our city.”

While it is the first impulse of our politically correct society to want to protest and draw as much attention to this jackass as we can, a much better (and more productive) idea might be to just ignore this racist fuck. Let him start his fundamentally sound basketball league. Let him try to make money selling games filled with white faces playing fundamentally sound basketball. The WNBA for years has been selling trying to sell their brand as "fundamentally sound" for years now and if not for their subsidy from the NBA, that league would have imploded years go. And the WNBA isn't racially divisive.

Let this ass-hat try and sell seats to a high school gym (if there's one that would house them) to watch a game where the Klu Klux Klan might hold a recruiting drive during half time and see how many asses he can get. He won't get any, and not even because of the race thing. He won't get people to come because who wants to pay to watch people play fundamentally sound boring basketball. No one watches the NBA for good parameter shooting and a perfect execution of the Princeton Offense. They watch it to see Dwight Howard dunk over Lebron James. And for Kobe to take over games late in the second half. Sure a good understanding of zone defense and a high field goal percentage is important... but it doesn't sell tickets. And if it does not sell tickets, it will fade away into the ether of horrible ideas, where the XFL and Slamball (basketball in a moon bounce) ended up.
